Purpose & Intent

The purpose of the Woodhaven Redevelopment District is to create a dynamic, sustainable and attractive mixed-use neighborhood with a focus on recreation. The Woodhaven Redevelopment District will harmonize single-family, two-family, multiple-unit, and mixed-use structures to attract a broad spectrum of families, professionals, retirees, and students. In the context of a multiple-use, intermodal Greenbelt concept, this district will connect to existing municipal streets, sidewalk, and trails in the surrounding neighborhoods and prioritize the preservation and enhancement of natural resources, urban trees, and public greenspaces along the Mohawk River area to maximize the environmental, financial, and social benefits. The redevelopment of this area will also serve to prioritize and enhance the physical connection to the Rome Free Academy High School, and the Griffiss Business and Technology Park.
